You want a unique brewpub experience? Head to Brew Church! This is an actual Catholic Church, a beautiful historical one too, that was left behind by the church and rescued by.... beer brewers! God bless them! OK I was more impressed with the looks and the food than I was with the beer, but overall I still really enjoyed the experience. The beer wasn't bad but didn't make me jump off my chair either. I found the brews generally a bit light on both the hops and the body. I enjoyed a couple of them though: the Celestial Gold was light but but well balanced and pleasant, and the imperial stout was quite nice too, a bit sweet but great with dessert, or "in lieu" of it!
Overall, I really recommend the place for its uniqueness. The food was good and the staff great. And heck, how often do you drink beer to the light of stained-glass windows?

Holy Mother of God, man, I've never heard of a brew pub in a church. That is something special, and since I'm a good Catholic boy, I may have to make a special visit here the next time I drive out to the east coast (which will be next summer). I could assuage the guilt I feel from consuming too much by taking a pew and repenting. Awesome!
